Pippin is a bold, theatrical musical that follows a young prince on his quest to find purpose and meaning in life. Guided and manipulated by a mysterious troupe of performers and their charismatic Leading Player, Pippin tries everything from war to love to revolution, searching for his “corner of the sky.” With a dazzling score by Stephen Schwartz and a story that blends spectacle, satire, and soul-searching, Pippin is a high-energy journey through fantasy and reality that dares its hero and its audience to ask what truly makes a life extraordinary. This show deals with mature themes, war, and death. Recommended for 13+

Washington Opera House [Maysville, Ky.]

Directed by Joe McCullough

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.  One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.
